- PRODUCT : SIDEKICK
- VERSION : 1.5xx
- OS : PC-DOS
-
-
- TITLE : CALCULATOR CORRECTION FOR IBM PC AT AND COMPATIBLES
-
-
-
- This patch is designed for users of Sidekick's Calculator that are receiving
- incorrect results due to Sidekick's use on an 80286-based computer. As an
- example, if (93,500 / 31,167) = 2.4, you need to use this fix.
-
- Use the DOS utility, DEBUG, to apply the following patch to a copy of your
- original SideKick disk. At the DOS prompt, type the following information
- exactly as it is listed. Note that some entries end in <Space> and some end in
- <Enter>. The difference is important!
-
- Note: 1. DEBUG is not sensitive to upper and lower case. All addresses are
- listed in upper case for ease of readability.
-
- 2. While in DEBUG, the prompt will appear as a dash (-).
-
- 3. The name of the file in the first step will depend upon the version
- of SideKick being used. For example, SK.COM is the full program,
- SKN.COM leaves out the Calendar, etc.
-
- 4. If you do not receive the appropriate response, press "q" followed
- by <Enter> to quit. Check your version numbers and, if correct,
- try again.
